Ottawa Embassy Hotel & Suites

Good atmosphere. The suite could be modernized a bit.

We had top floor 1 bedroom suite - nice apartment with balcony and great view. Myself and 2 older daughters. No car needed as easy walking to Rideau center and University etc. Elgin street 2 blocks away with bus routes,excellent restaurants. So location is perfect. Can recommend Mayflower for breakfast and don't miss Friday's restaurant for prime rib. In hotel, although we did not cook much kitchen was certainly equipped for all our needs. Nor did we use the breakfast, nor other hotel facilities only because we had no need. When it was hot finding AC was tricky as located above refrigerator, but found it OK without having to phone desk. Will stay again next trip to Ottawa. Lovely city. And the wifi Internet is free and good speed.

Phone seemed a problem when daughters were phoning room and when we missed receiving a delivery as pphone did not ring in living room. And when it did it would only ring 2x and then line was dead. Advised desk so no big deal.

Value for money,opportunty (if required) of kitchen facilities

The only point is no restaurant service within the hotel on weekends. (except for room service)

The hotel has perfect location. A parking lot is available on the hotel (extra charged), but if it is full, there is one parking just in front of the hotel, it is convenient. The room is really big, more than needed, also has complete kitchen in the room.

The breakfast is extra charged. We didn't have our breakfast in the hotel, there are some places nearby with better prices. A good exemple is the cafeteria in the City Hall, just 3 min on foot from the hotel
